[summary of the invention]
The technical problem that the present invention will solve; Be to provide a kind of implementation method of many pictures of STB preview function; Do not need operator that mosaic service is provided; Also need not in the business information code stream, to insert any mosaic descriptor,, just can realize many picture navigation function as long as the terminal receives multi-channel program.
The present invention is achieved in that a kind of implementation method of many pictures of STB preview function, it is characterized in that: may further comprise the steps:
Step 10, program navigating screen divider in the STB is become a plurality of zones;
Step 20, distribute a memory headroom in STB, for respectively Video layer and Still layer, set-top-box opening and by the tuning program of following step;
Step 30, the video data in the program is deposited in the memory headroom of Video layer, and stop the broadcast of video data;
Step 40, the video data in the memory headroom of Video layer is copied in the internal memory of STB, and convert video data to the Still layer can the data presented form;
Step 50, the video data after will changing carry out processed compressed, and the video data after will dwindling according to the sequential storage of row in the memory headroom of Still layer;
Step 60, the video data that will be stored in the memory headroom of Still layer carry out related with a zone of described program navigating screen;
Step 70, judge whether to have in the STB and want tuning program, be then tuning next program, and return step 30, otherwise change step 80 over to;
Step 80, the relevant information of each program is shown in the program navigating screen area accordingly.
The present invention has following advantage: through catching video data in the programs of set-top box to the memory headroom of Video layer, and then convert the Still layer to can the data presented form, combine the OSD layer to realize many pictures of STB preview function again.The present invention lets the user can select own programs of interest quickly and easily for the navigation that the user provides a plurality of channel programs of preview simultaneously.
